Riyad Mahrez helped Algeria to win the tournament in 2019The Africa Cup of Nations, which was scheduled to take place in Cameroon in January, has been postponed until 2022. The coronavirus pandemic has suspended football across most of the continent since March and left little time to complete the qualification competition. The Cup of Nations was due to be held from January 9 until February 6 next year but will now be scheduled for January 2022. The date for the final tournament and the remaining matches of the qualifiers will be communicated in due course, the Confederation of African Football said in a statement after an executive committee meeting. In a separate decision, CAF cancelled the 2020 Women's Africa Cup of Nations due to "challenging conditions" and will instead launch a Women's Champions League in 2021.
